OpenAI to Update its Flagship Chatbot
The company also announced on X on Friday that it will host a livestream conference on Monday at 10am PT (1700 GMT) to “demo some updates to ChatGPT and GPT-4.”
Last week, Reuters reported, citing sources, that the Microsoft (MSFT.O)-backed startup was planning an announcement of an AI-powered search product on Monday, one day ahead of Google’s I/O developers conference.

“Not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we have been hard at work on some new items we hope people will appreciate! I find it to be magical.” said CEO Sam Altman in a post on X on Friday.
With its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT, which stunned the world with its capacity to generate human-like written content and excellent software, OpenAI is under pressure to grow the chatbot’s user base.
OpenAI ChatGPT as the Fastest App
ChatGPT was dubbed the fastest app to ever surpass 100 million monthly active users shortly after its launch in late 2022. However, according to analytics company Similarweb, global traffic to ChatGPT’s website has been fluctuating over the past year and is only now reaching its May 2023 peak.
Industry experts have stated that adding search engine-like functionality to ChatGPT—namely, the capacity to retrieve current, reliable web information—is a logical next step, and something that the current version of ChatGPT finds difficult to accomplish.
OpenAI to Compete with Google
According to the report, this would also place OpenAI in direct competition with well-funded startup Perplexity, which has gained traction by offering an AI-native search interface that displays citations in results and images in addition to text in its responses, and Google, which has announced generative AI features for its own namesake search engine.
Integrating real-time data has proven to be a challenging endeavour. ChatGPT plugins, a previous attempt to incorporate current and real-world data into ChatGPT, were abandoned in April, as per a help centre article on OpenAI’s website.
